It is a real problem and plenty of people do change their use of their tools.

i dont believe so. can you give an example?

duck duck go, for example, has 0.3% market share.

you need to look at the typical john and mary on the street.

I may have been incorrect to use the word 'plenty.' So let me rephrase: people do change their use of those tools. I don't see how those people being insignificant statistically makes a problem any less real.

well you didnt say majority so the word plenty is ok actually

i agree that it is a real problem for lets say millions of people.

but what counts is the majority opinion for me. there are all kinds of contrary (!) opinions among small subgroups of the population, and thus it isnt possible to adjust wide-ranging policies to those opinions
